Film People Project

Film People Project is a photographic archive of people and the film that shaped their lives

“What struck me in particular is the way it expresses the concept of beauty. Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom has a very refined aesthetic, beautiful sets, as well as the costumes, and I like how Pier Paolo Pasolini tells, through beauty, something extremely rotten, like the human tendency to want to prevail over others. The thirst for power and domination is present in everyone, even in everyday life. I find it a unique film, I had never seen anything that went that far. It changed me, it forced me to reflect in ways that stayed with me for many days”

“Mi ha particolarmente colpito per come esprime il concetto di bellezza: Salò o le 120 Giornate di Sodoma ha un’estetica molto ricercata, delle scenografie bellissime, così come i costumi, e mi piace come Pasolini racconta, attraverso il bello, qualcosa di estremamente marcio, come la natura dell’essere umano di voler prevalere sul prossimo. La sete di potenza e la prevaricazione c’è un po’ in tutti, anche nella vita di tutti i giorni. Lo trovo un film unico, non avevo mai visto niente che arrivasse a tanto: mi ha cambiato, mi ha costretto a fare delle riflessioni che mi hanno perseguitato per molti giorni”
